I was lucky, well me and the other Norco employees. We got a gift card as a Christmas present from Norco. So I took mine and bought a Rigid router combo to use as a spindle and also to help me build my first CNC router.
Most people I see building up a CNC router are using the Porter-Cable stuff, but I thought this was a pretty good deal, and if it doesn’t work out, well I guess I learn something.
